I am thrilled that the industry has renewed its coverage and support of play-based education. Children learn much more through structured play than by sitting doing worksheets and memorizing. LANK's play-based approach coupled with its emphasis on pre-literacy and pre-math skills development have always been strong and have been taken to the next level in recent years. In addition, the Kindergarten program build fabulous academic and social skills as well as a child's self-confidence. My older two children, who have quite different personalities, each thrived there.
Our family is entering its 7th year at LANK and we all love it. The directors and teachers are top-notch (many have or are currently working toward graduate degrees in education) and the parent community is enthusiastic and welcoming. Their focus on emergent (age-appropriate) literacy this year is particularly good and my son is having a fantastic time! My two older children, both LANK 'graduates', adore visiting the school and seeing their former teachers-all of whom remember my kids and their interests. We can't say enough wonderful things about LANK-it's really become our second family!!
This is my daughter's second year at LANK and I am so excited to be a part of this tight-knit, supportive, and caring environment. I am always amazed when almost every teacher knows her by name, not to mention the wonderfully warm interaction given by the two directors. LANK's play-based approach to learning keeps my daughter excited and motivated to get to school, learn new facts to share, improve her art and writing skills, and grow in a nurturing, fun environment.
This is my 7th year at LANK and I couldn't be happier. I thought about switching my children at one point because there are other schools that are more convenient for me. However, I didn't want my younger children not to get the same advantage going into elementary school that my older ones had received from LANK. My own comfort level of knowing that my children are in such loving and capable hands, the well trained and remarkable staff, the strong parent community and the first rate program all made it impossible about thinking of going anywhere else. Their focus on learning through play allows for the development of the 'whole child' as learning occurs by continually building upon new experiences to further enhance the cognitive, social, emotional, physical, fine and gross motor development
